Virginia bans civil unions |
|

Virginia took a huge step backwards recently with a law banning outright any "civil union, partnership contract or other arrangement between persons of the same sex purporting to bestow the privileges or obligations of marriage." The best quote from the article: "We try very hard as second-class citizens to use what meager tools we have, knowing that at any time some bigoted judge can throw it out, saying, 'Jesus doesn’t like you.'" Second-class citizens? Perhaps not, but the overall point is spot-on. Some have suggested the law may even be unconstitutional, but it will takes years for it to work its way through the court system.

I proposed a GlobalFamilyTree Wikimedia project yesterday, althought I haven't fleshed it out much. Any contributions are welcome; you can post your comments on the page itself.

RIAA sues again - but will they settle? |
|
|
|
|
Forbes has a story about yet another round of lawsuits filed by the RIAA against the so-called copyright infringers who share music through P2P apps like Kazaa (or my fav. for Linux, giFTui). Like before, the suits are anonymous - the RIAA needs a court order to obtain the infringers' identities. The interesting bit here is that the identities of 24 people from the previous round of suits have been identified - and they're refusing to settle out of court. Will music-sharers finally demand their day in court? Here's hoping, if only so this thing can be settled once and for all.
